NVC Research Response

[Senufo 8]

To Whom it Concerns:

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry. We contacted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and confirmed that they still have your approved immigrant petition. USCIS is working on your petition and will forward it to NVC once their review is complete. 
 

Our K1 was approved August 13th without any further progress.  Is this an automated reply or are they actually still reviewing our case?

You presumably mean that the I-129F was approved on Aug 13, or what actually happened on Aug 13? What specific documents have you received from USCIS? Where did this latest response come from, NVC? 

It makes no sense to me that USCIS would still be reviewing a petition if it has indeed been approved.

Yes, it's an approved I 129f that was approved August 13th.  Received one RFE and replied to it, one week later we were approved.  Our approved petition won't get sent to the NVC though.  I noticed they moved the California location the day before on August 12th.  I know it's it's just not fair and I can't do anything

Congrats! The most excruciating part is most probably over. Unfortunately , the system does not care about fairness. It looks like you still have some waiting to do.

I understand that it's frustrating when this part of the process is very opaque but approaching it with a lens of unfairness is not going to make it easier for you.

 

Focus on your relationship and your future plans together.  Make sure this is all for naught.  Exercise patience, and gratitude.  Four years ago, your frustration over your wait would be laughable.  Even a year ago, we were seeing petition approvals twice as long as yours.  Our case was at NVC for four months.  

 

Breathe, find grace and foster the love for your future spouse.  Not much is fair in this world, and the immigration process is certainly among the count.

You are absolutely correct, Thanks.  That's exactly what I'm doing.  I'm extremely grateful for the approval (NOA2) in such a short time with no major issues.  To me I realize that's big.  It's tricky explaining the details to my fiance.  She's from Côte d'ivoire Africa and speaks French and Baoulé.  My French is coming along well. 

 

At first I was telling her how quick we were going to be together, now I have to explain to her, who know when it's going to happen.  This ordeal nearly has me speaking fluently which is a blessing.  A month ago I explained to her that our communication is the first child we created together and she really liked that.  She's been teaching me correct French for the last year.  We tease each other and laugh for hours like two big kids.  It's simulating and loving.  It low key feels like it's only been a few weeks.  My bachelor lifestyle will end so there's no rush giving up this great time.   I realize I still have more working on myself to do and this wait is a blessing.  I'll probably go visit her in February.  Stay blessed
